her kindly ways and sympathetic
manner and her death came as a
great shock to those who had
known her so long and well in
the past and her gentle words and
kindly acts will be greatly missed,
and lo the sorrowing children de
prived of her mother love the
deepest sympathy of the entire
community goes out.
The children who are left to

Jane Rose Fellows was born
November 30, 1845, at Flowerfield,
Michigan, and spent her child
hood days in that place, coming
overland to Nebraska in the year
1858 with her father, Milo Fel
lows, who afterwards became one
of the first postmasters of this
city. Here Miss Fellows grew into
womanhood and on April 27, 1863,
she was united in marriage fo
William L. Wells, a young Ne
braska soldier, who was home on
a recruiting t rip, and with the
bravery of the women of that
time, Mrs. Wells bid her bride
groom farewell and he returned
to his duties in the army, serving
till the close of the great civil
war.
Mr. Wells served as district
clerk of this county for some
eight years, and the family were
residents of this city until 1880,
when I hey removed lo South
Bend precinct, where they resided
on a farm and in that village un
til Hie death of Mr. Wells in
181)1, when the family moved
back lo Plaltsmoulli and resided
here until l'.tO'i, when Mrs. Wells
decided to give up housekeeping,
and had made her home with her
children since that time. She was
taken sick last October, but was
able to be around until about two
weeks ago, when she was taken
acutely at the home of her daugh
ter, Mrs. Breese, in Red Oak, la.,
and her condition was such that
no hope was held out to the fam
ily for her recovery, and last Sun
day morning she answered the
call of the Master lo her final re
ward. Mrs. Wells at an early day
joined with the Vrnleslant Epis
copal church, and was a lifelong
and faithful member of that faith
and reared her family in the be
lief of Ihat church.

After a day of intense heal, in
which people suffered, whether
they worked or did not, and the
perspiration came out from ever
pore on the least exertion, the
evening brought somewhat of
surcease from the Highly heated
day, and those who are interest
ed in the campaign at the big tent
gathered, first to the twilight
prayer meeting, where they re
newed their faith and zeal, recon
secrating themselves to the serv
ice of I he Master.
In the .egular meeting, when
the shadei of evening had fallen
and the cooling breezes came
whispering through the lent, giv
ing a cooling and delightful scene
of refreshment after the day's
toil, the conditions were such as
made the attending of the service
one of pleasure. For half an hour
the musical program claimed the
attention of those who attended,
and this portion of the service
was more than well worth the
coming. Ilev. Smith look tor his
subject the profit and loss of
Christianity, or the profit of be
ing a Christian and living (he
right life, and the loss of not
having done what one could for
the Master. With many incidents
he illustrated the subject, draw
ing many a good lesson and
making a number of fine points
as he progressed.
At the close a number of those
present evidenced a desire to live
the better life anil were joined in
a series of prayers. Among the
number were ten little girls,
whose purify of life spoke for the
good life they expect to live, and
a man who had seen the effects of
a life of sin, who had pursued the
world to win from it pleasure al
any cosl, but had found it. not.
lb; dialed that, his father had
been a minister, but bad gone
from this world of labor to his
reward, but left his sou and an
aged wife, who had been solicit
ous of his welfare. In his stand
ing for a belter life he is giving
joy to ins mother such as ne
ould do in no other way.
The subject for this evening
will be "The Reason Oiveu for
Not Being a Christian." Besides
the meeting at 3:30, which is to
be held this afternoon, there will
be another twilight prayer meet
ing at 7:3(1, just, thirty minutes
before the convening of the reg
ular service.

HE COMMISSIONERS
ORDER TELEPHONES
IF
OUT OF COURT MOUb
E
The county commissioners, at
their meeting here this week,
ordered all the telephones on oi
the court house and jail and the
nly telephone used by the county
after July 1 will he that at the
coiiniv poor larni. me coiiimis-
ioners do not, believe tin rates
honld be raised and do not care
ii have the taxjiayers forced to
pay l lie increase, and as a cou-
seiinence, decided lo take out the
phones. This change will prove
quite an annoyance to many who
have been in the habit of calling
up the ollicials out in the county
to save a trip here and it will be
some lime before the public will
get used lo the proposed change.
There is a great deal of business
transacted by parties in the coun
ty court, treasurer's office, as well
as that of the clerk, sheriff and
county attorney that can be cx-
pedilated over the telephone, and
the taking out of these instru
ments will compel the parties to
appear in person to look after the
matters in which they are in
terested. However inconvenient it
may be to parties having busi
ness at the court house, it is a
principle that should be sustained
that the taxpayers of the county
should not be compelled to sub
mit lo the raise in rates, even if
it is rather inconvenient for them
to have the telephones moved out
of the county offices.

PROPERTY CONTINUES
0 CHANG
E
HANDS
There has been considerable
changing of property in this city
in Ihe last few days in the line
of purchasing of residences by
different parties, which serves to
indicate a spirit of confidence in
the city and its future by the
citizens here.
The residence property of
Charles llenner, at the corner of
Pearl and Eleventh streets, has
been purchased by County Re
corder of Deeds A. J. Snyder, and
the family will move from the
Baylor properly in the Second
ward, where they have been liv
ing, if having been purchased by
Fred Engelkemeier.
E. A. Lorenz has purchased the
Justus I.illie property on Oak
street and will iimve shortly into
his new home, ami it is under
stood Ihat Mr. Lillie and family
will purchase the Harry Kuhney
properly on North Fourth street,
while Mr. Kuhney will try anil
secure a place further out. where
he can have more land.
These changes in residence
property show that the citizens
are beginning to realize that
Plattsmouth is a mighty good
town to live in, and such a spirit
is what makes a town good, as
you cannot expect strangers to
take ii p wilh a place where resi
dents are ready to take a knock
al it. 'Ihe best way to develop
a place is for every man, woman
and child to gel behind it and
boost and make the world realize
that it is Ihe best place in the
world that the residents can find
to live in and that they are proud
of the fact that it is their home.
